George Phillips, an elderly man. was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?"
He said "No, but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me."
Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available"
George said, "Okay." He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he phoned the police again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot and killed them both; the dogs are eating them right now," and he hung up.
Within five minutes, six police cars, a SWAT Team, a helicopter, two fire trucks, a paramedic and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.One of the policemen said to George, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!" (True Story)
The following maybe a little un-PC but hey, I'm just the conduit for spreading Noelle's special brand of humour. She is likely to come out with something like this on any given day and i certainly wouldn't start an argument with her. I respect her age and her right to damn well express her opinion whenever it suits.
Taking down the bird feeder
This is the best analogy yet!
I bought a bird feeder.
I hung It on my back porch and filled it with seed.
What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it, lovingly with seed.
Within a week we had hundreds of birds
taking advantage of the continuous flow

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio,

Then some of the birds turned mean.
They would dive bomb me and try
to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
And others birds were boisterous and loud.

They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my
own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the
birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests
they had built all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used

Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing,
free medical care and free education, and allows anyone

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for
the government to take down the bird feeder.
If you agree, then spread the word; if not,
just continue cleaning up the poop.
